tags/warnings: i don't remember much cause i wrote this last month but this should be fluffy probably.....though i'm more used to writing angst. very different from my usual writing style but it was 1am so suck it up /j
desc/blurb: you're living with them and it's up to you whether you're in an established relationship or are just pining (mutual) with an exception of kazuha, simply because of how i wrote it.
-10/10 this man would walk around shirtless just to piss you off
-but he's actually pretty caring and would leave sticky notes on the counter or fridge door with some cute ass messages
-"make sure to eat breakfast"
-"you're already late, so rushing won't make much of a difference. just take your time getting ready"
-he won't let you take care-care of him though
-mostly, he just dares you to do shit for him, or to go fetch something from the kitchen
-he barely opens up to you when he goes through something
-you wish he was more open but wanted to respect boundaries. and so, you just leave snacks or notes to him as well, hoping it would at least cheer him up a bit
-he's such a gentleman and he's also very tidy. he likes to keep his things only to his corner and so do you
-you've talked through the division of household chores which keeps things in an organized manner
-when you're to busy to do your part, or something's on the way though, he does it for you and just says nothing about it
-admittedly, you've taken advantage of his kindness one time—but it's really just one time and you still feel so sorry 'till this very day
-he gets his slumps too, or just really tiring days which would lead to him on your arms
-he's not very much of a skinship person until he starts to get tired
-of course, you do take care of him as much as he does you
-it's peaceful to live with him
-he'd leave you to do your own things and so do you to him
-but, from time to time, he'd get clingy in a way that he'll keep asking you to do things with him like accompany him in the library or laboratory. could also be very simple everyday things
-you'd have drinks together
-or just go outside for some air for a change of scenery
-sometimes, you even get dragged into one of his experiments
-you don't really mind it though, you liked watching him work
-but, he tends to overwork so it's either you stay up with him or you force him to take a rest
-if you manage to convince him, the experiment works and shows better results the first try the next day
-if he insists to stay up, you won't get a blink of sleep until it works
-there are also times when you'd read together. or he'd be sketching and you'd be reading in silence. it's a nice and simple feeling
-would take you out on exquisite dates
-when you have a hard time sleeping, he would either walk outside with you or he would tell you stories while you lay on his lap
-despite knowing how to fix his own tie, he still asks you to do it for him, and you willingly do so
-sometimes he'd come home with a gift he bought along the way
-he has a book collection of mostly history books. you like reading them but it sometimes gets boring, which again leads to him being the one telling the story instead. it's always more interesting when he does it, especially with how his voice sounds.
-you're almost as spoiled as teucer is
-his primary love language is obviously gift giving, while skinship could be the secondary
-there's not really a label but you did have your own share of intimate moments with him
-that time, you were shitfaced drunk, and so was he. things got heated and you wished that you're the type of drunk to not remember anything, but oh boy do you remember every single detail
-ever since, he started to feel closer with you, and you're not sure if it's a good thing or not
-he loves to cook for you. especially dishes that are from his homeland.
-well, you suck at the kitchen so in exchange for his cooking, you keep things neat as much as you can. tartaglia isn't that well kept himself, which is what contrasts him and you.
-despite being a little closed off, he takes actions to show that he cares
-though he won't admit it
-for example, he'd cook a nice breakfast and would say he only did that because he woke up too early and couldn't go back to sleep
-you just accept what he says even though you knew it wasn't really the situation
-you like to surprise him with hugs which never fails to catch him off guard
-there was this one time when you pretended to be asleep and you felt him brushing off the hair away from your face
-you swore he stared at you for so long you even thought of just dropping the act
-before you could drop the act, he kissed your forehead and then he left
-he's pretty straightforward
-which is kind of why you confessed pretty early on
-but not straightforward in a way that he says things as it is. he speaks in a beautiful cryptic language, but you were always good at deciphering so you both knew what each other meant
-this bitch gets freaky sometimes
-he either speaks of his love as poetry or just...really questionable...sinful shit.........
-pUnIshMenTs (if you've done that one archon quest, you'd know what i mean. but i won't talk too much abt this)
-when he's too happy, he never shuts up and he keeps singing, humming to himself
-he would also sing for you, and you'd lay your head on his shoulders
-but in all seriousness, service is obviously his love language
-when he's anxious, he just can't stop reorganizing and cleaning everything
-you'd let him but at some point, you'd stop him and ask what's going on
-he usually just gives in, and he'd soften on your arms
-you stay silent, just holding him and playing with his hair
-before you know it, he falls asleep
-once he wakes up, he tells you what's bothering him
-you don't really give advice unless he asks for it. you would just listen to everything he says and stay with him
-it's a beautiful relationship you have and you love to take care of each other
-usually he's very chatty and active
-but there are still those silent moments that seem to speak louder than words
